Proud to feature in @UKSustain #GoodFoodLocal London report which tracks council action on food & celebrates our approach to the local food economy, supporting residents to grow their own food and improving resident access to healthy food. Report here: orlo.uk/a33CF

@BrannanM Agree this makes little sense. Obesity is just one expression of food related ill health. Why not invest to lower the cost of fruit & veg, more cooking and growing programmes, and fair pay and benefits that help people spend more on food? Depressing news on #WorldFoodDay2024

Disappointing stigmatisation of people living with obesity Employment is building block of health & people should be supported into it But 2016 Black review shows evidence doesnt support weight loss as direct intervention for worklessness. Its complex gov.uk/government/pub…

@SonicWhirls Oh yes, I didn’t have space to point out my conscious bias. It is great though, much food for thought. Speaking of which, always here if you want to do an episode on the cultural heritage dimension of food!

Nothing quite like an endorsement from your little sister. Thanks @j_wils - glad you enjoyed it.

Jo Wilson@j_wils

@SonicWhirls @BritishCouncil @messageheard Finally had a chance to catch up! Cultural heritage is a great lens to explore topics like language, conflict, climate action & SDGs. Great format and each episode is elegantly hosted by @SonicWhirls. Check it out @goingpicking @annmariepena @Wen_UK @DrElaineSwan1 @RuthBeale

Was a weekend whirlwind of emotions, good food and quality time avec ma soeur xxx

Christine Wilson@SonicWhirls

Last weekend my sister and I took some of our Dad’s ashes to France so he could make a final visit to the Champagne region. Dad was very fond of champagne from Claude Carré et fils, an independent producer, and M Carré kindly gave Jo and me a tour and a glass of champagne.

Like that this excellent infographic on the issues of our industrialised food system uses the word ‘nourishment’ to describe how it should be. One of my favourites that goes some way to defining food’s value and power.

Fantastic infographic about food and addiction (and my hairline).
